I'm tired. I won't lie. Blogging is having to take a backseat these days and I know this is only the beginning. In spite of all of the bulging belly, waning energy, and general craziness of life I find myself reveling in this Christmas season. I'm an unapologetic fan of Christmas and all that comes with it. Over the last 10 years I have come to love the climax to the redemption story that is the Christmas story. This baby born in Bethlehem is the denouement of a story that God has been writing since before time began. Being a pregnant mama during this season has been a precious time for my heart and spirit. God chose a woman to carry the God of the universe and birth Him into this world, son of God and son of man- an unlikely story for the redemption of our humanity.
I don't have anything profound to say about the subject. Why wax philosophical when the story is so simple and beautiful? I'm just going to share one of my favorite songs. period- not just Christmas songs, but songs in general. Listen, ponder in your heart, and be blessed.
Have you seen The Nativity Story? Watching that movie while I was pregnant really deepened my reflection (and made me cry my eyes out). Enjoy this unique experience of being pregnant during the Christmas season. I think it is a gift.
